Nine of Cups

The ninth card in the Suit of Cups is called the Nine of Cups. On this Tarot card you may notice a man sitting with his hands folded. He is very happy with the situation he is currently in, and at the same time he is clearly a confident person. The man's position clearly indicates that he does not intend to move from this place. This may be due to his attachment to all the cups, which are arranged with him on a high, semicircular contour. The nine of cups thus represented symbolizes harmony and general contentment. In fact, the nine of Cups indicates a very good period in the life of the person it depicts. However, this is not the fullness of happiness that you can see in the Ten of Cups card. Although the person on this card realizes that he or she is missing one more cup (symbolizing fulfillment in the emotional field), he or she has an abundance of everything he or she desires. The Nine of Cups like no other from the Suit of Cups relates to the material world and in this sense strongly relates to the Nine of Pentacles.

The upright nine of Cups is a very good omen for practically any question you may ask the Tarot cards. From health, where the nine of Cups represents health and vitality, to material fulfilment, where fate offers you everything you desire. This card is also a symbol of stability, not only financially, but also emotionally. It means that although you are still missing this one cup, the current situation is very comfortable for you. The upright nine of Cups can speak of materialism in certain situations, but it is always a conscious choice of your priorities at the current moment in life. This is a card of hospitality and a good standard of living, especially in relation to your place of residence. In an upright position, the Nine of Cups is very confident and happy, because all your wishes are immediately fulfilled. The card can also speak of a stable relationship between two people, but it won't be a family or a formal relationship yet, just time spent together that you both enjoy.

In an upright position the Nine of Cups is generally a very good sign in love related matters. This is of course due to the fact that it belongs to the Suit of Cups, which in its assumption point precisely to emotional matters. The Nine of Cups symbolizes contentment, harmony and generally a stable emotional situation. It should be emphasized that this is not the fullness of happiness that would occur if there were not nine, but ten cups in this card. If you are currently in a relationship, it is most likely very satisfying for you, and you are getting everything you dream of in it. The Nine of Cups is also very good for people who are single because it foretells romance, which will provide you with a successful sex life and the closeness you need. You can meet love now especially in places where you can celebrate success. These can be all kinds of parties, especially house parties, or casual social gatherings. Your self-confidence, previous experience and positive approach to people will help you a lot in starting a new relationship. Enjoy and make the most of what you have by sharing it with other people close to you, because now is the best time for that.

The reversed Nine of Cups, like the card in the upright position, predicts very good luck in material matters. The difference is that in this situation it may cause you to become overly attached to money and find it difficult to become emotionally involved with people. You may also find that you judge others and yourself through the prism of possessions, which can further complicate your relationships with people. On the other hand, the reversed Nine of Cups may represent a situation where you are no longer satisfied with your possessions, and the missing one cup that you've been trying so hard to find in your life is coming to the fore. The Nine of Cups very often depicts a person who may be described as a poser or a canny person. Such character traits can lead you to lose your good reputation in the community in which you surround yourself. However, the man depicted in this card is not willing to make any changes in his life, and all he can do is complain about his lack of contentment. Be careful not to abuse hospitality with the reversed Nine of Cups, but also not to fall into binge eating or laziness.

The reversed Nine of Cups primarily represents a state of constant dissatisfaction, especially on the emotional plane, where you are currently experiencing the greatest shortcomings. This card may also tell you that you have the wrong attitude towards a loved one, or your relationship is not as close as you expect it to be. On the other hand, you may find that being too attached to money makes it difficult for you to commit more strongly to an intimate relationship. If you are currently in a stable relationship, it probably doesn't give you both satisfaction, but you are unwilling to make the necessary changes to solve your current problems. The Nine of Cups in this position may also indicate a relationship in which you devote too little time to each other for sex, or it is devoid of love. The reversed Nine of Cups also indicates a lack of mental stability and emotional maturity which prevents you from building lasting relationships. You may also have a problem with over or under-confidence, which causes you to push new people away. It is important for you to work on your self-esteem. Learn to be happy just being with yourself before you share it with others.
